The razzcello (raspberry-infused vodka) that I made recently is in the fridge and ready to be gifted to a lucky few. AB and I just tasted it (and then we had to dash out the door so we didn’t have a chance to drink the whole bottle). It was that good! Man, I was five seconds away from becoming Lindsey Lohan’s evil-Asian-twin sister and downing it much to dismay of my Asian-blushed face. I digress…
This year, due to a significant reduction in my budget, I decided to make more of my gifts. And I’m a fan of gifting booze and food. Soooo…I’ve made three fruito-infused vodkas plus I decided to make some cute gift tags to go with the bottles.
Recipe for Gift Tags:
1 or 2 rolls of decorative (and swanky-looking) wrapping paper
Scissors
2-sided tape or fast-drying glue
Edging scissors in a design of your choice (I recommend Faber)
Step 1: Decide what shapes you’d like to cut out for the gift tags. I used Microsoft Word for Mac to make star-shapes and diamond-shapes. Here’s what they look like:

Step 2: Design a greeting for the back of the gift tag. Here’s a sample:
Jenny’s Homemade Razzcello*
(aka Raspberry-infused Vodka)
This Razzcello is drinkable on:
[okay, on a word doc this shows up as a straight line for the drinkable date]
This drink is best served icy cold with soda water or tonic (**and a little lime…). Store in the freezer or fridge!
Happy Holidays!

Step 3: Glue or tape (I use the double-sided tape because it’s much easier) the gift tag backs to the back of the wrapping paper or decorative paper. Cut out shapes using regular scissors or fancy edging ones. Punch a hole at the top and thread a ribbon through it.
Voila! Fancy gift tags that make homemade booze or food look spectacular.

P.S. Or you can just send this FREAKIN’ hilarious Justin Timberlake SNL sketch (hint: it’s about giving someone “something” in a box). It’s calorie-free and you’re probably going to hell (sorry, that’s my formerly Catholic side a-talkin’) , but it’s so funny that it just doesn’t matter.
